Renewal of Approved Information Collection
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: 60-Day Notice and Request for Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) invites public comments on, and plans to request
approval to continue, the collection of information that is necessary
to implement two provisions of the Federal Cave Resources Protection
Act--one which requires Federal agencies to consult with interested
parties to develop a listing of significant caves, and another under
which Federal and State governmental agencies and bona fide educational
and research institutions may request confidential information
regarding significant caves. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
has assigned control number 1004-0165 to this information collection.
DATES: Submit comments on the proposed information collection by August
17, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail, fax, or electronic mail.
Mail: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 1849

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521, require that interested members of the public and affected
agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection
and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This
notice identifies an information collection that the BLM plans to
submit to OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act provides that
an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not obligated to respond.
The BLM will request a 3-year term of approval for this information
collection activity. Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the
collection of information for the performance of the functions of the
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the information collection burden on
respondents, such as use of automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection requests to OMB.
The following information is provided for the information
collection:
Title: Cave Management: Cave Nominations and Confidential
Information (43 CFR Part 37).
